Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance
And Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance


In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The investigation was initiated on March 3, 2008 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Alcatel-Lucent, Direct Fulfillment Team, St. Louis, Missouri (TA-W-
62,938), Alcatel-Lucent, Direct Fulfillment Team, Westford,
Massachusetts (TA-W-62,938A), Alcatel-Lucent, Direct Fulfillment
Team, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (TA-W-62,938B), Alcatel-Lucent,
Direct Fulfillment Team, Hunt Valley, Maryland (TA-W-62,938C), and
Alcatel-Lucent, Direct Fulfillment Team, Sun City West, Arizona
(TA-W-62,938D). The workers at the subject facilities are engaged
in distribution of electrical equipment.
The investigation revealed that workers of Alcatel-Lucent,
Direct Fulfillment Team, St. Louis, Missouri (TA-W-62,938),
Alcatel-Lucent, Direct Fulfillment Team, Westford, Massachusetts
(TA-W-62,938A), Alcatel-Lucent, Direct Fulfillment Team, Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma (TA-W-62,938B), Alcatel-Lucent, Direct Fulfillment
Team, Hunt Valley, Maryland (TA-W-62,938C), and Alcatel-Lucent,
Direct Fulfillment Team, Sun City West, Arizona (TA-W-62,938D) do
not produce an article within the meaning of Section 222(a)(2) of
the Act.
In order to be considered eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, the worker
group seeking certification (or on whose behalf certification is
being sought) must work for a "firm" or appropriate subdivision
that produces an article and there must be a relationship between
the workers' work and the article produced by the workers' firm or
appropriate subdivision. The workers described above do not support
a firm or appropriate subdivision that produces an article
domestically and thus the worker group cannot be considered import
impacted or affected by a shift in production of an article.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of
1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the worker group must be certified
eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance (TAA). Since the
workers are denied eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers cannot
be certified eligible for ATAA.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of Alcatel-Lucent,
Direct Fulfillment Team, St. Louis, Missouri (TA-W-62,938),
Alcatel-Lucent, Direct Fulfillment Team, Westford, Massachusetts
(TA-W-62,938A), Alcatel-Lucent, Direct Fulfillment Team, Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma (TA-W-62,938B), Alcatel-Lucent, Direct Fulfillment
Team, Hunt Valley, Maryland (TA-W-62,938C), and Alcatel-Lucent,
Direct Fulfillment Team, Sun City West, Arizona (TA-W-62,938D), are
denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section
223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also denied eligibility to
apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246
of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 18th day of April 2008
